Working with fresh ice

One of the biggest nuisances of a commercial ice maker is the ice that has been in the bin for a number of days, and on your busiest days when you need that ice you have found that it is frozen as a big block in the bin. A metal scoop quickly becomes your best friend as you chip away at this frozen block half way down the bin. You get bad looking cubes, and are wasting way too much time.

So what to do? If you have a Scotsman Prodigy Machine you can add a KVS (Variable Bin Control) and change the level of ice in the bin that you are working with to better match your business on any given day. If you are a business that is closed on Monday, why have the machine turn on every few hours as ice melts away? Why not use as much on Sunday as you can, and turn the machine off until Monday night to be ready for Tuesday?

The control is manually controlled and easy to install by the end-user.
